Suddenly September
Yesterday was a vacation day from school, but it rained all day, so there was no outdoor baseball, and that sucked.
I didn't do very much; I went to Heiroku for sushi lunch, picked up some bakery food, then came back to the house and talked to Mike on Skype for a while, and then watched the Dragons-Tigers game where Matt Murton got his 200th hit, and then I wasted time on the computer in the evening, I guess.
Today it only rained a little, and my school participated in a huge Arakawa track-and-field event at the National Stadium, so I went to that. The dumb thing is, in the evening the teachers were having an all-you-can-eat-and-drink party. BUT it cost 4000 yen (like $50) and was motsu nabe, which basically means "big hot pot of intestines and other organs". I don't like alcohol and I don't like organ meats, so paying 4000 yen to eat vegetables and watch other people get drunk seemed silly.
Unfortunately I thought I'd come home and watch the Fighters game on BS1, but I apparently got it wrong (or they changed their schedule) and so I didn't watch anything. Oops. I've been spending time off and on the last few days kinda sorta cleaning my room, but no matter how much I do, I still feel like I'm living in a pile of clutter. I just have a lot of little stuff that doesn't really have a place per se.
Also, it's been COLD the last 2-3 days. It's funny because on Wednesday it was over 30 degrees out and hot (so around 90ish in Fahrenheit), and yesterday and today it's been 17-20ish, so basically in the mid-60's. Sheesh. I don't want to turn the heat on though because that seems silly, I figure it's going to be hot again in a day or two.
I'm hoping that the Tokyo Big 6 games tomorrow don't get rained out. I have other plans Sunday and it would royally suck to miss college ball two weeks in a row.
Oh, speaking of which, I forgot, but between the track and field meet and coming home, I stopped in Jimbocho (the used bookstore neighborhood) for about two hours, because I could, and hadn't been there in a while. I got a magazine and a book about the history of Tokyo Big 6. Westbay said that he thinks I probably know more about Japanese college ball than any other native English speaker out there, but I can't imagine that's actually true. (Maybe he just means more than any native English blogger out there.) Still, it can't hurt to study some more, of course :)
